Description

The application allows easily viewing the required rights of the installed applications. It’s possible to group the apps by rights, and to group the rights by their apps. By default, the potential danger index is assigned to all the rights. Note that high danger index does not denote unconditional malignity of application.

No listing by app name? 5 stars, if I could figure out how to (I don't think it is possible) check the permissions of a single app! I can only sort by permission-group types. When I need to know what permissions a specific app has, I have to run a different program (or my OS app manager). Works great for overall assessment, but don't try to find something specific! If checking the permissions of a single app is possible and I figure it out, I will revise my rating. It's a matter of having all abilities in a single app.

hard to use & crashes It crashes if you try to only show Third-party apps (i.e. ones not built-in) AND order them by Danger level, thus rendering it hard to use. (On a Motorola Milestone/Droid 2 running Gingerbread.) I don't like the GUI, which lists apps & their permissions in the same list, thus making it hard to navigate. Also, ordering ("grouping") apps by their danger level only does it based upon their 0-5 star rating, rather than ordering by the overall score, meaning the worst offenders can be hidden far down the (5 star) list. Amazingly, "Full Internet access" is only given a danger level of 3/5, even though it is needed by an app to send your private data back. So the dangere score/level is even more useless. There are better (free) apps out there.

Completely useful and helpful This app is a valuable tool for anyone trying to keep their Android device secure and efficient. Used in tandem with App Shield and (on a rooted device) DroidWall, RL Permissions helps me verify my work in screening and constraining apps. Many thanks to this developer!

Nice and broken Very nice application but a big shame that application icons sometimes appear too big and the alignment is broken by that. What a shame...

Crashes Cannot group third party apps by danger level. The app crashes every time.

Excellent free app. No adds and does not require any permission;-) Could do with more grouping options (per permission type). Thanks a lot!
